Sajid Nadiadwala confirms Salman Khan's Kick 2 still in pipeline, says 'film will happen in December 2021'

Writer-director Sajid Nadiadwala has said that he is currently working on the script for Kick 2, the much-awaited sequel to 2014 blockbuster Kick.

But before Kick 2 hits the screens, Salman Khan and Nadiadwala will return for Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali , slated for Eid 2021 release.

“I had started writing this film even before I started with Kick 2. Salman and I are collaborating after six years and it feels just like our Judwaa days back then. Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali is a film with a very different approach and we are sure the audience will love to see Salman in the avatar we have planned,” the filmmaker said in a statement.

“We are yet to lock the female co-star post which we will start working on the shoot dates. Kick 2 will happen in December 2021, I am in a process to finish writing the script,” he added. The filmmaker last September said that Kick 2 will not be releasing on Eid 2020.

Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali will be written and produced by Nadiadwala, while Farhad Samji, whose last project was Housefull 4 , will direct. Nadiadwala and Khan have previously worked together on Jeet, Judwaa, Har Dil Jo Pyaar Karega, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, and Jaan-E-Mann, according to Mumbai Mirror .
